Gee's w'ere expecting 225K+ for Xenoblade in NPD?! No way! Bigger, multiplat games have been doing less than that lately.

I never said that, but the current sales on the site suggest at least 200k in NPD.

I didn't actually read your post so wasn't replying to it Just saw a chat about Xenoblade doing well.

I just don't think anything of late adds up to it doing well, Wii games arnt doing well, low Wii sales in the US, and low sales for games overall, even on platforms doing well (PS360)

Who knows, maybe it'll hit it out the ball park, I just think it's way too niche to be doing this well.

I (sadly) agree, but, the fact is, the only evidence we have on it are the numbers from VGChartz. It's the only thing we have so far. And I don't think VGC can be THAT far off...

As you say, maybe it will do really well, but after sales from Europe (already beaten LT sales in Europe) shows that it's either a breakout success or the sales are wrong. I hope it's the former, but...

Well, Vita lacks some Monster Hunter for Japan, and is overpriced for the western market. (Amazon germany sold the Vita for 199 including a 8GB Memory card and a 15€ Gift Card.. only lasted a day, but i wonder what came out of this.)



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

Also, Xenoblade sales at 44k in the US for this week. We're looking at 55-60k WW this week, highly respectable!


Nice! Didn't notice it last week but it has crossed the 500k mark and with this week's sales it's close to 600k! Makes me happy!

Edit:

Happy, until NPD shatters everything next month. I'm prepared for disaster.


Quartely results will shatter everything in my opinion.

And what exactly makes you say that? You predicted it would sell 80k WW the first week, and 20k this week. You've been with less than half the actual sales for both predictions...

Ever thought maybe you're just being pessimistic? It IS Reyn Time after all...

 I'm refering to HW sales, I think Xeno will do about 140K according to NPD, I'm being realistic if I was pessimistic I would have said 40K for xenoblade rather than 80K.

PS3 dominating again....nothing new to see here

Ouch!  Vita sales under Wii's.  This really needs some games, not multimedia features.

I bet 100$ that Sony will be arrogant this E3, and they'll try to turn out the numbers to make the Vita look like a big success.

That woudn't be an arrogance, mate. It's called business. They do whatever they can to get more support/games and hope for the best.

Admitting that the Vita is a failure or disappointment doesn't make any sense, and wouldn't help anyone .



360 held better then i thought it would, PS3 expected, and low in JP.
